Still analyzing point-guard talent, the Knicks are trying to bring in UCLA freshman point guard Jrue Holiday for a second workout, The Post has learned.
Holiday worked out on June 9 for the Knicks, who fear Stephen Curry will be off the board when they pick at No. 8 in next Thursday’s NBA Draft.
It’s Pac-10 time for the Knicks. After working out Arizona’s Jordan Hill Tuesday, the Knicks will bring in USC freshman shooting guard DeMar DeRozan today for a solo job.
The Knicks said that was their last workout scheduled, but clearly they have more work to do before the draft.
Curry is the favorite at 8 unless Hill drops to them. But neither may be there. DeRozan has opened up eyes as a potential sleeper pick.
During the Chicago draft camp, the explosive guard who prides himself on defense said, “A lot of people think I can jump higher than Vince Carter at the end of the day. Now I get a chance to step in and see if people will still compare me to Vince or not.”
Added DeRozan, “I don’t try to pattern my game after anybody. I want to be my own man where guys say, ‘DeMar DeRozan, that’s how he plays.
